    Breaker trip after screwing light fitting back to freshly painted ceiling

    Hi, This afternoon, finished re-emulsioning a plasterboard ceiling in a 25-y-o house (so the electrics are modern enough). I had removed a circular metal light fitting - the swivel 3-spotlight type of thing - but it uses modern LED bulbs. Never ever had a problem with it. The wiring is solidly...

    Advice Needed - Lights blown after fitting

    First off I'll say I'm not an electrician at all, I'm just a guy who bought a house and tried to fit new lights in the hallway. So I found that out of the two light sockets, one had the usual three wires (blue, brown and yellow/green) whilst the other had two of each of those wires, so 6 in...

    Anyone come across this light fitting?

    Hi all, Been to look at these light fittings which all seem to be failing. They have 2 lamps, one centre spot and a circular tube around the outside, both switched independently. Does anyone know of a suitable replacement or where I can find the same fittings? Thanks
